Value
IDC offers services for the complete life cycle of beverage processing facilities. Our staff has extensive experience in raw material receiving, storage and handling through processing, blending, various pasteurization systems, filling, case or tray packing and palletizing of juices, concentrates, milk, water, coffee, tea, energy drinks and alcoholic beverages. We also have expertise in the processing of raw materials including malts, fruits, and high-fructose syrups.

Beverage Processing
Growth in the beverage industry is marked by new processing, packaging and warehousing techniques. Aseptic processing, barrier plastic containers, stand-up pouches and bags, and high-speed manufacture of shelf-stable products, all controlled by PLC and DCS systems, can help manufacturers to differentiate their products and keep operating costs low. With our knowledge of these cutting edge technologies, IDC helps clients gain their competitive advantage.

Dairy Processing
IDC thoroughly understands dairy processing, and we work with our clients to develop solutions to their toughest challenges. To improve quality and yield, we optimize existing processes and, where appropriate, recommend new, robust equipment. Newer technologies that we can deliver include UHT/ESL milk processing; production of various whey products through electrodialysis, filtration on membranes (microfiltration, ultrafiltration, reverse osmosis, etc.), ion exchange, crystallization and evaporation; and special heating and cooling treatments which do not affect quality or nutritional and functional balances. We work closely with research centers developing new dairy technologies and equipment, and also continue to expand our knowledge of traditional dairy manufacturing technologies and state-of-the-art facility design. Particularly exciting are recent advances in product reclaim, waste reduction and minimization of city/well water use; electrodialysis for whey separation and concentration; and environmental improvement with CIP-capable HVAC, automated energy-efficient refrigeration systems, and humidification control.
